The learning journey today is completely decentralized. We're learning from a bunch of different places - MOOCs, CBCs, YouTube, StackOverflow, Tutorials, Docs, Communities, Wikipedia, Twitter etc. Thanks to the Internet, anyone with a computer can learn & buidl any skill they'd like, and kick start their career without spending any $. Degree as a signal of competency is failing us. Whether you have or don't have a degree, says nothing about the skills you have learnt. And to top this up, there is no real way to verify & trust someone's claim on the skills they know without taking a leap of faith. As a result of this, Orgs struggle to verify the skills of candidates. This has resulted in all kinds of problems - time & resource consuming hiring processes, lot of deserving candidates being unemployed, degree inflation & a pay-to-win model of higher education etc. The Proof Of Skill protocol will build decentralized, trusted and un-biased credentials thus providing an objective & transparent way for candidates to showcase their abilities to those looking to hire them for work. Vision - Revolutionize talent acquisition and development by setting a global standard for skill verification, thereby creating a more efficient, inclusive, and skill-focused job market.

SkillBrew.AI is AI screening software built for technical hiring at scale. It sits between the moment a candidate applies and the moment a recruiter spends time on them — running automated interviews, custom assessments, and integrity-verified evaluations as one combined screening layer. For recruiters and hiring teams, the platform removes manual screening entirely from early-stage hiring. Instead of phone screens and Level 1 interviews, candidates go through AI-powered workflows that validate actual skill — before any human effort is spent. Core products: AI Interviews — Async technical interviews conducted by a 3D avatar that reads the candidate's resume and the job description, then asks dynamic, context-aware questions that adapt in real time. Three modes: fully automated, manual (your questions), or hybrid. Delivers PDF reports for every candidate. AI Assessment Builder — Paste a job description and get a full, role-specific technical test in under 2 minutes. No static question banks. Questions are generated to match the actual skills in the JD. Candidates are auto-ranked on a leaderboard. HireFlow — Hiring workflow orchestration that turns a job role into a configured, multi-stage pipeline. Assign assessments and interviews at the right stage, move candidates automatically, and hand off a ranked shortlist to the ATS. BrewShield — Built-in proctoring across camera, screen, voice, and keystroke monitoring. Every assessment and interview session is integrity-checked. Suspicious behavior is flagged and logged in a full report. SkillBrew.AI is not an ATS. It doesn't replace Greenhouse, Lever, or Workday — it integrates alongside them. The platform's job is to ensure that by the time a recruiter opens a candidate profile, that candidate has already been evaluated, ranked, and integrity-verified.
